wore the embarrassing suit to the graduation functions and never wore 
it again.


But you left out the most important part: did it fit?
Cut and material OK (except for the color)?

2014-10-29 Thread WILTON via Mercedes
The shade of blue reminds me:  In early spring of '52, when I was 17, I was 
nearing high school graduation, and of course, wanted to attend the 
associated functions.  The fashion for boys attending such functions at that 
time was a dark blue suit.  I had not a proper suit since I was 10, and 
Mom and Dad could not afford to buy one for me.  I had been working 
part-time in a grocery store for a couple of years, so I was making a 
little bit of money, but I didn't have enough to buy a suit.  About this 
time a traveling salesman came along selling suits made-to-order.  Such a 
suit would cost me $50 paid in five ten-dollar payments.  I agreed to the 
plan, picked out the material and color from the salesman's swatches, and he 
took my measurements and had the suit tailored.  I made the appropriate 
payments, and the suit arrived a day or two before the first graduation 
function.  I got a quite surprise when I opened the package to find a suit 
in THAT shade of blue - a  BRIGHT, royal blue!  It was the material and 
color I had picked via the small swatches, and I was terribly disappointed, 
but I never said a word about it to anybody - just wore the embarrassing 
suit to the graduation functions and never wore it again.

The middle one looks fairly reasonable. I suspect the fellow used color
filters or a graphics program to shift the colors.
